"..."Su Changzhao was dumbfounded.

[Oh my god, is the dog emperor serious? ]

[What should I do? I'm a little excited~]

He shook his head again in his heart: [No, Su Changzhao, you can't fall in love at this time. The dog emperor still doesn't even dare to acknowledge his identity. He has left Yulong alone and stayed by your side, willing to be your concubine. God knows what he is planning! ]

Yu Jiuchen was excited when he heard this: "Long move, I am sincere."

Su Changzhao immediately grasped the key point: "Long move?"

“…” Yu Jiuchen suddenly realized that he had spoken out of turn, but it was too late.

Only Yu Jiuchen would call her 'Chang Zhao', while Shi Lianyu would only call her 'Sir'.

Su Changzhao's peach eyes curved, "Your Majesty, are you going to continue pretending?"

Yu Jiuchen: “…”

Su Changzhao: "Well, since your majesty has finally come to his senses and doesn't want to play games with me anymore, why don't we make things clear today?"

Yu Jiuchen didn't hesitate at all: "Okay."

Seeing that he agreed so readily, Su Changzhao was surprised for a moment, then quickly asked, "Why did you come to Ghost Town?"

"It was a strange mistake."

"Be more specific."

Yu Jiuchen had no choice but to tell the story of how he was mistakenly ambushed by the Qing people, and was later rescued by the doctor's family in Huoshui Town, and was accidentally sent to the ghost town instead of the doctor's son.

After listening to this, Su Changzhao pondered for a moment and said, "That is to say, before you came, you didn't know that I was the Ghost King of Netherwater."

Yu Jiuchen: "Yes."

Su Changzhao: "Then you stayed because you recognized me?"

Yu Jiuchen: "Yes."

After receiving Yu Jiuchen's recognition, Su Changzhao smiled again and said, "Your Majesty is willing to stay and be your concubine just because you recognized me?"

Who would believe it if the king of a country were to be someone else's lover?

"As long as I can stay by your side, I'm willing to be your lover, not to mention your servant." Yu Jiuchen said as he took a step forward, almost sticking to Su Changzhao.

Su Changzhao immediately took two steps back and said in a displeased manner, "Let's talk nicely if we have something to say. Don't get so close."

"Long move..."

"Stop! I haven't finished asking my question yet, don't yell at me."

"..." Yu Jiuchen didn't say anything, but he didn't move forward either. He just stood there obediently, staring at her, as if waiting for her to ask a question.

"..." Su Changzhao was so annoyed by him that he asked again: "Back then..." After thinking about it, she finally asked about what happened a year ago, which had always been a knot in her heart.

She obviously did a good job. She did everything she could and couldn't do for Yu Jiuchen, both as a subject and as a friend.

Even after all this, he still wants to kill himself.

Su Changzhao just couldn't understand it. He was like a piece of stone. She had done so much for him, it was time for him to warm up.

Yu Jiuchen knew what she wanted to ask, so he waited quietly for her to ask.

"…Why did you order me to be killed a year ago?"

Su Changzhao looked at the handsome man in black clothes in front of him with burning eyes.

This was a question that had been bothering her for a year.

Yu Jiuchen looked straight at her without any evasion and said sincerely: "I didn't."

"Then why did you drug me and make me lose my power?"

"I'm afraid you'll run away."

"Then why did you send Shen Juezhou to my house to take someone away?"

"I did send Shen Juezhou to your house, but I only asked him to guard outside the door and keep an eye on your people to prevent them from doing anything. I did not order him to arrest anyone."

Su Changzhao laughed: "Oh, Your Majesty, do you mean that Shen Juezhou acted on his own initiative and disobeyed the Holy Order?"

"Yes." Yu Jiuchen's eyes were focused and determined.

"..." [He doesn't look like he's lying.]

[No, the dog emperor is too good at pretending. I can't conclude that what he said is true. I have to ask a few more questions.]

Yu Jiuchen guessed that she would think so, so he waited for her to ask.

Su Changzhao: "Then do you have any evidence to prove what you just said?"

Yu Jiuchen: "The imperial edict from a year ago should still be in Shen Juezhou's house. If he can't produce it, he must have destroyed it. Destroying an imperial edict and falsely transmitting an imperial edict are two serious crimes. But even without this imperial edict, I can make him tell the truth."

"Haha, Your Majesty, you are just delaying the war. Now that we are on opposite sides, you can't let me go back with you and discuss who is right and who is wrong with Shen Juezhou face to face? If you really want to kill me, wouldn't I be walking into a trap if I go back with you? I'm not that stupid."

“That’s why I’ve never been willing to admit my identity.”

"..." Su Chang was speechless for a moment.

"Changzhao," Yu Jiuchen grabbed Su Changzhao's hand and refused to let go even though Su Changzhao wanted to pull it away. His eyes were filled with deep affection as he stared at the man in front of him: "I'm telling the truth. As long as you trust me, I'll do anything for you."

【Did the dog emperor take the wrong medicine? 】

[You can do anything. I'll ask you to commit suicide right in front of me. Can you do it? ]

"I'm not going to kill myself."

Yu Jiuchen suddenly said something that scared Su Changzhao.

"!!"

Because this was exactly what she had been thinking.

But she would never have thought that the dog emperor had the ability to read minds, so she quickly calmed down and said mockingly: "Your Majesty, you are overthinking. If it were me, I would not do such a thing either."

Unexpectedly, Yu Jiuchen said: "No."

"???"

"But if I die, I won't be able to protect you anymore."

“…”

"You are still so young and so good. In just one year, you have been surrounded by many men with bad intentions. If I die, you will consider them."

“…………”

These words made Su Changzhao completely helpless.

Yu Jiuchen: "So I have to live, live well, so that I can love you well, take care of you, protect you, cherish you, and... have sex with you."

puff!!!

“Ahem…”

Su Changzhao was almost choked to death by his last few words.

"A long move..." Yu Jiuchen was worried.

"Cough cough...don't come over here!" Su Changzhao did not forget to stop him while coughing.

Yu Jiuchen had no choice but to stop again.

[What a lewd and lewd word! ]

"Do you still have any shame?"

Yu Jiuchen's eyebrows relaxed, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of his lips: "This is what you said yourself, every time you can't help yourself, you will say that I am very good..."

"Shut up, you bastard! If you say one more word, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

"hehe."

[Still laughing?! ]

Su Changzhao simply couldn't bear to listen to it anymore. He didn't bother to pay attention to him and turned around and left angrily.

Yu Jiuchen immediately chased after her and hugged her from behind: "Is it considered a hooligan if I'm just being a hooligan to you?"

"You are a scoundrel! You are shameless!"

"Okay, I'm a scoundrel! I'm shameless! You can say anything about me! As long as you believe in me and don't get angry with me! Never leave me! Whether it's beatings or scoldings, I will take it!"

“…”

I felt a slight heat on my shoulder, and Yu Jiuchen's deep voice came softly: "Do you know how I spent this year? I thought I would never see you again, and I could only numb myself with war, wrapped in horsehide, with blood-stained armor, like a walking corpse. But as long as I know your whereabouts, I feel as if I'm alive, and I must go to confirm it in person. Do you know how happy I was when I saw you in Mingyue Pavilion that day..."

"Then why didn't you make it clear at the beginning!"

"Shen Juezhou came back to report that your people killed the imperial guards and escaped, and you also fled the palace and Longdu with your people. I chased you for several days, but who would have thought that you never came back after you went up the Brahma River!

I know you must have misunderstood me, just like I misunderstood you, so I want to find evidence and then find a chance to explain things to you clearly."

"Then why do you want to explain it to me today?"

"Because..." Yu Jiuchen paused and buried his head in Su Changzhao's neck: "I can't help it..."
